I dismiss anyone's argument when they use a sun sign horoscope proving that astrology is wrong. Because Sun sign horoscopes are useless. I never read horoscopes. Astrology is much, much deeper than that, and this person is just ill informed and that is how astrology skeptics usually are. You can't say something isn't true unless you understand it first.

Anyone who denies spiritualism is a very young soul.

Geoffrey Dean is an an arch anti-astrology person.

What is special in his case is that he was a long time professional astrologer who was even part of astrological organizations.

He's been called a traitor to the astrological community.

the person who wrote that is a flaming idiot...all of the "new age" stuff he was going on about has been around for centuries...since before Christ....there is an ancient telescope in China and South America, both are thousands of years old..and that is only two examples out of hundreds

I don't agree with him completely on this article. I agree that horoscopes that you find in magazines and such are full of it. There are other points that he makes that I agree with too but like Raspberry said he doesn't really have a full grasp of astrology.

He isn't an idiot either, he is pretty smart and funny. You should check out more of his posts.

Spirituality isnt the same as religion. Spiritual people accept everyone for who they are, and they understand the divine plan. Religious people are mostly driven by vain things.

I feel that God is spiritual, but it doesn't mean it's religious.

I think the point that Maddox is making is that it is an overdone phrase. He means that the person who says it does so in a way that is vain and self righteous. "Oh I'm not religious, I am spiritual" *closes eyes and lifts head*. People are spiritual beings there is no need to mention it.

And I don't think that is what he meant because he is denying spirituality in that article.

So what? Just because he denies spirituality doesn't mean that he isn't a spiritual being. He just doesn't realize it.

Okay well you are contradicting yourself. Who cares if he knows it or not, you make no sense. He is the one going against it.

The statement that spiritual people understand the divine plan is pretty vain. Also, "anyone who denies spiritualism is a young soul". Maddox is definitely not a young soul but whatever it doesn't matter.

LOL.. I take everythng that Maddox says with a grain of salt but I absolutely love his website.

My favorite:

As to anti-astrology people? I take them the same way I do with people that put me down for my faith. To each their own- they have no control over me and my life and I have no control over theirs, nor would I want to

Now.. back to my Sushi lunch

haha! I don't have his chart. I don't think he has ever mentioned his birth info. You can read his articles and look at him and tell that he is not a young soul. He has a good grasp on how things work and is very articulate. A person with his understanding must be an old soul.

no no. Glaucus posted another man's chart. We are referring to Maddox. Maddox is in his early 30's I believe.

A person can be an old soul and have no idea about astrology. There are many people who are ancient and powerful souls who are oblivious to astrology or who don't use it.
